Thanks to everyone who sent images and tried out the challenge yesterday! Today's challenge is a classic. Make something out of the cardboard roll left over after the toilet paper is all gone. Collect these as you go and you can revisit this one in many different ways. And I'm hoping you have toilet paper! The shelves are devoid of T.P. here in San Francisco. So let's focus on what we have: the little rolls from the T.P you had from before things got wacky. For the littles out there, let them cut shapes out from paper or up-cycled paper you can get from your recycled bin. Keep it simple: Rectangles for arms and legs and circles for heads. Next, glue it onto the roll. White glue works great, but there is a trick: You have to hold the attachment for about 30 seconds for it to set up. And before you say, "My five year old can't wait that long," I say: don't let them pull that one on you! It can be challenging, but tell them: "good things come to those who wait." (Like Toilet Paper) I had a lot fun with this myself by adding a 10 & up challenge: you only get to glue on what you cut away from the roll. This takes some planning. I cut away some rectangles to reveal legs, and then glued those on to make arms. At the end I got out a felt pen to add patterns and details. Pretty zany outcome but I enjoyed myself. Check out my pictures to see how our family ran with it. Again though, for the littles: let them do whatever they like and if their animal ends up looking like a bi-plane or if their human ends up looking like a couch, just go with it. And tell them they worked hard! For tomorrow you'll need one of the following: an onion, celery, an old potato with eyes, Ginger, a head of garlic, a few mushrooms, or some lettuce with the base still attached. I like celery and onions, because you end up using the part that was just going to get composted anyhow. "How will food scraps end up design," you ask? Tune in tomorrow! Stay strong, everyone, you're doing a really good job! #dailydesignchallenge #makeyourthingtoday #artschool #wecandothistogether #staystrong #homeschool #comics #minicomics #cartoonist #infographic #howtocomics #toiletpaper #designmatters (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B90nDH1hy-N/?igshid=1qa3053du580r
